AB  - This PhD thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of finite top- and bottom-quark masses on the Higgs production cross section via gluon-gluon fusion. Our study substantially reduces the uncertainties previously associated with these mass effects on the cross section. We also explore the implications of different mass renormalization schemes, delivering results for both the MS and on-shell renormalization schemes. Furthermore, we provide an in-depth comparison between the 4-flavor and 5-flavor schemes to address the treatment of finite quark masses. An additional novel aspect of our research is the examination of how finite quark masses affect the Higgs-rapidity spectrum. Finally, we offer well-founded recommendations to guide future experimental and phenomenological research in this field.
